This is an amazing story and exactly what @DOGE aims to do! The federal government has a MUCH larger amount of WASTE & FRAUD than a local or state government could ever have, because it can always print more money. Unfortunately, there is no free lunch and that extra money
When I was County Judge Executive in Lewis County Kentucky, I was responsible for signing the check that paid for every phone landline and cellphone billed to the county. At first it seemed impossible to ferret out the waste, fraud, and abuse for these phone plans. How many

After HDR, I was able to advance Gradius more deeply, because the distal vessel course got clearer. Injection might made small modifications against resistant part, I believe. Afterwards, Corsair Pro→1.5 Ryurei→2.5 Ryurei passed through. Finally rCART!

I’m very happy to show HDR in combination with retrograde approach for a long and calcified RCA CTO @ Singapore Live 2025! HDR was very useful to manage balloon uncrossable lesion during antegrade preparation. #National Heart Center Singapore

Here is a mini tutorial on how to prep the MC for contrast injection for #HDR. Remember: the injection is SLOW and GENTLE. Thank you @jaygirimd for the question, and @aspergian1 for the 100% accurate answer! #HDR #HDRFAQs #contrast1st
@aspergian1 @jedicath @DrBIqbal Thanks for step by step. Can you just expand a bit on the wire withdrawal part?Just have a little contrast flowing out into the hub while wire is still in the lumen taking up space? Wouldn’t this still leave some potential space in MC that would cause initial air injection?

Antegrade preparation with HDR immediately after retrograde set up is very fast and safe for long CTO.

Post Script. What @MdM_Ochiai does is brilliant! 😍 Most of us the same hand to torque and to push the wire. He divides the two task between his hands. 🧐 The left hand advances and receives tactile feedback from the wire. The right hand torques with precision and is free

Today, coinciding with Sensei Masahiko Ochiai's visit to our center, I delivered a talk on 'Revascularization of CTOs According to the Latest ESC Guidelines.' My conclusions: 1) Complete revascularization is associated with apparent benefit, but trials of CTO-PCI are neutral in

#CTO What a retro. Great expartized septal channel crossing by Dr Ochiai. Worth a look. This is the only day when the retro is lifted. @realarainmd @DaitaroK @calcbreaker @SKuramitsu0511 @tadano98 @rotamonster @OpolskiMP @jcspratt @KambisMashayek1 @LAzzaliniMD @AgostoniPF
